Description: Details
I-Worm.Fog

This is Win32 email worm with backdoor and DDoS abilities. The worm itself is Win32 application (PE EXE file) about 180K of size (in UPX packed form) and about 500K being unpacked. The worm is written in Delphi.
The worm sends itself to other machines being attached to emails with AntiVirus.exe name. While spreading it uses MAPI to connect to emailer. The worm also reports to an IRC channel (worm host channel?) about infected machine and then activates backdoor and DDoS routines that allow to remote master to manipulate with infected machine and perform DoS attack on remote machines.
When infected file starts (being activated by user from infected message or from any other source) the worm displays the message box:
Explorer
i reb00t
[OK]
When OK button is pressed, the worm copies itself into Windows system directory with "AntiVirus.exe" and into Windows Fonts directory with "Times New Roman.exe" names. The latter file is then registered in system registry auto-run key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices Windows = %windows font directory%\Timer New Roman.exe
To spread the worm looks in Inbox for all messages that have at least one attached file, and replies with infected message that has:
Subject: I think that you sent me a virus.. heres a cleaner
Body: I took my computer to the shop and they ran this, and told me to send it to you.. hope this helps.
Attach: AntiVirus.exe
The worm also deletes NETSTAT.EXE and REGEDIT.EXE in Windows directory. The worm as well looks for anti-virus and some other processes that are active at the moment and tries to terminate them:
